Corrected entry: When Myrtle first buys the dog, it is very small, like a puppy. When they get to her apartment, the dog has grown substantially.

Correction: When we first see the dog in the apartment it's still a small puppy. We then see the dog grown bigger to show that some time has passed.

Continuity mistake: In the film Sam Waterson, Nick Carraway, goes to his first Gatsby party wearing white pants, a blazer and a striped tie unlike all the other men who are dressed in tuxedos. Later in the film attending another Gatsby party Carraway is wearing a tuxedo like everyone else. Yet, during a dance sequence in which several partiers are dancing the Charleston, we see Carraway appearing on the left side of a shot dancing while wearing the white pants, blazer and striped tie he was wearing at the first party.
